First batch is in the fermenter!

Just pitched two packs of Wyeast 1056 into my first 5 gallon batch of IPA. I steeped some crystal and munich, and used 10 lbs of light LME. Half of the extract i used upfront and the rest at 5 min. I used Simcoe for bittering and Simcoe/Centennial for flavor and aroma. It all went great until my strainer clogged during transfer, I think i should have used a hop bag. Then i pitched before i took a sample for my OG. Other than that and pitching a little warm i think it went great. Cant wait to taste it
